New York – The editors of TIME Magazine name the 100 most influential people in the world now, in the new issue (on newsstands Monday, April 11th.) The “people who shape our world” are profiled in five categories: “Leaders and Revolutionaries,” “Builders and Titans,” “Artists and Entertainers,” “Scientists and Thinkers,” and “Heroes and Icons.”
DAVE EGGERS, Writer and Magazine Founder: Eggers’ enterprises are refreshingly dedicated to the idea that writers can actually change things in more than an abstract sense. Expect Eggers to keep up his neck-breaking pace of staggering intensity, writes TIME’s media critic James Poniewozik.
